Michael J. Fox apologizes to Taylor Swift over jab

Actor Michael J. Fox has reached out to Taylor Swift after poking fun at her dating disasters in an online interview.

The “Back to the Future” star followed up Golden Globes hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey’s comedy warning for the singer to stay away from Fox’s son, who was an official usher at the prizegiving, by taking aim at the unlucky in love singer in a Vulture.com article.

He told the website he wouldn’t know who Swift was if his son Sam brought her home, and then joked, “Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right?” – referring to the singer’s penchant for writing heartbreak tunes about her exes.

Feeling awful about his comments, Fox has reached out to Swift to apologize and in a tweet on Friday, she wrote, “Hey everybody, Michael J. Fox got in touch with me today and we are good.”
